During DBP’s ownership, $1.7bn has been invested into the DBNGP in meeting the energy needs of Western Australia, via separate expansion projects, Stages 4, 5A and 5B. As a result of these projects the pipeline capacity was increased by 60% with the pipeline now being 83% duplicated or “looped”.

- Who owns Dampier Bunbury Pipeline?
- Epic Energy owned and operated the pipeline for six years, eventually selling the pipeline in October 2004 to Dampier Bunbury Pipeline (DBP) Ltd, which is the trading name of the DBNGP group of companies.

- When was the Bunbury Gas Pipeline built?
- Construction began in 1982 and was completed in 1985 with the pipeline being extended to Bunbury. The SECWA as well as funding the construction of the pipeline also had the foundation contract for the supply of gas. The DBNGP was also developed with the support of Alcoa as its initial cornerstone customer.
- Who uses the DBNGP pipeline?
- The majority of the natural gas transported by the pipeline is consumed by major industrial users in the mining and minerals processing industries, but it also supplies gas to power generators and gas retailers. The DBNGP was constructed in stages between 1982 and 1985 by the State Energy Commission (SECWA).
- When did SECWA start supplying natural gas to Bunbury?
- In 1985 the pipeline was extended to Bunbury. The DBNGP has been in continuous operation ever since. As well as funding the pipeline project, SECWA was the foundation contract for the new supply of natural gas. SECWA entered into a long term contract with the North West Shelf Partners to purchase fixed volumes of gas.
- What is the DBNGP transition?
- This transition will require the coordinated support of gas users, regulatory bodies, and gas policy makers. The DBNGP (Dampier to Bunbury Natural Gas Pipeline) is Western Australia’s most significant gas transmission asset and provides natural gas to regional and metropolitan WA.
- When was natural gas introduced into the DBNGP?
- Natural gas was introduced into the pipeline in 1984 when the first stage stretching from Dampier to Kwinana Junction was commissioned with throughput of about 240 TJ/d. In 1985 the pipeline was extended to Bunbury. The DBNGP has been in continuous operation ever since.
